Ow, my hands hurt! But I’ve almost finished the pre-build! Burning/God Gundam is virtually built! The only thing left is to assemble the additional parts that form the hyper mode look.

The next step is to prime the kit. It will be the first time (EVER!) that I’ve primed a model for painting. I hope I get it right… But that’s the destiny of this kit… To be the test-kit for priming and painting with an Airbrush. But I’m going to have to hold off on that for a bit. I need a quick refresher on Priming, but I can’t do that today. It’s my sister’s Birthday, so I’m going to be doing that all day. Hopefully I’ll be able to prime the kit (or at least some of it) on Wednesday.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I’ve added about 15,000 words to the HG Burning Gundam gallery. Hope you like them!

You know what sucks? Trying to update while an electrician is turning power on and off to find out what powers what. Anyways, I thought I’d let you all know what’s going on…

Decided to go back to my older kits and glue together some of the more troublesome parts. SD Wing Zero has his V-Fin and “ears” glued on. The ears were a lot harder to do than I anticipated. Once they dry, I’m going to reassemble the head.

I also did some work on my HG GvZ kit. The thrusters on the Gundam’s backpack kept falling off, so I glued them into place. Same with the V-Fin. For the Zaku, I glued the commander’s fin into the replacement panel, (just so it couldn’t get separated and lost) and I had to glue the Machine Gun’s eye-piece into place. Somewhere along the way while I was originally assembling it, I think I broke part of it, or cut too close, and the eye-piece never sat in the gun correctly. So I decided to glue it into place, as I don’t ever see a need to have it move. Been thinking about gluing together some of the hands that hold the weapons, but I haven’t decided about that one way or another.

And, since I had the camera out, I thought I would post, for the first time anywhere, my first Master Grade & my first RX-78-2! So far I’ve done a lot of the frame, except for the arms. It’s just snap-fitted, but it’s coming along!

Finally, we get to my backlog. Been wanting to post this for a while now, but I haven’t been able to get any good photos of it lately.

So, I FINALLY finished watching G-Gundam. Over all, not a bad series, but it’s definitely more fighter/warrior oriented. Not what you would normally expect from a Gundam series. It was good though. If nothing else, it was nice to finally understand soo many things about that series, the upcoming Gunpla, and my HG Burning Gundam.

So as I’m sure many people have heard, they’ve announced a new Gundam TV series called Gundam AGE. (As in age, or how old you are. This is opposed to Heroic Age, which is more of Ah-Gee.) To me, it looks like a Pocket Monster generation Gundam, which is pretty much what it’s aimed at. I might watch one or two episodes, just to give it a chance, but I’m not too interested. They’ll have to REALLY out-do my standards on story and effects if they want to keep me interested.

However, the series I’m MORE interested in, is the not-yet-announced Gundam The Origin animation! We don’t know if it’ll be a series, an OVA or what, but it’s based on the Gundam The Origin manga, which is basically a re-telling of the original Gundam series, but they’re fixing plot holes, added to the character development, and adding storyline details that should of been in the original series.

The official announcement and details about the animation will be released on Saturday in Japan, so late Friday here in the USA. I’m waiting in eager anticipation! ^_^ I’m hoping it’ll be a series. Unicorn is far too infrequent, and AGE can’t hold a candle to the original series.
